How'd She Do That?

In today's episode, Emily shares a recent conversation she had with a girlfriend on success, contentment, and how the little things always add up.  We hope you enjoy this brainstorming session specifically on being content and redefining your definition of success when necessary. Emily also coins a new term - contentment cloud - is this a thing? It's the way she's been feeling recently in regard to HSDT after adding more team members and finding success along the way.  As always, Emily hopes to share these brainstorming episodes with you to 'pull back the curtain' on what it looks like to start a business from the ground up - in her case a podcast.
